Look for the contour lines that are closest together. That means the area is steep.

∙ 11y agoA Topographic map will usually have contour lines marked. If these are too far apart, then you can interpolate between the contour lines on the assumption (not necessarily valid) that the slope of the land between contours is uniform.
In this case, you should mention your assumptions.

Look at the colors on the map and then look at the color key on the bottom left or right corner of the Map then you’ll find out

The color then look at the color key

What is the highest elevation on the topographic map can be no more than about?
It think it's about 34
How do you calculate the total relief on a topographic map?
Total relief is the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points on the map.
What is the relief on a map?
The relief of an area on a map is the difference between the highest point and the lowest point. You find relief by finding the highest and lowest numbers on a contour map, then you subtract those numbers.
What kind of map shows elevation?
the type of map that shows elevation is called an elevation map. elevation maps are used for showing how high the land is.
Can a scale be used to find the elevation of a feature on a topographic map?
yes.
What is the highest elevation line shown on the map?
The highest elevation line shown on the map depends on what is the highest point - which is often the summit of a hill or mountain.
What is the difference between contour lines and relief?
Contour line connect points of equal elevation on a map, whereas relief is the difference in elevation from the highest and lowest on a map.
Which letter on the map indicates the highest elevation?
E
How is an elevation map measured?
If you mean how is elevation on a map measured then it is usally by a different color(usally white means the highest).
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called?
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called a contour interval.
What is the highest elevation on the topographic map can be no more than about?
It think it's about 34

Can you use a resource map to find out the elevation in Florida?
Yes.
What is the difference between highest and lowest elevation on a contour map?
The numerical values along the lines of contour, indicate the elevation above or below sea level.
What type of map would you generally use to find out the elevation above sea level of Mt McKinley in Alaska?
A physical map would be the best, but some political maps might also show the location and elevation of Mt. McKinley due to its status as the highest point in the USA (and in North America).
